Retailers need to review approach to health and safety
Clyde & Co said the recent government announcement that the assault of a shop worker is to be made a separate criminal offence
in England and Wales is an encouraging development but also means that retailers will also need to review their approach to
health and safety. The increase in assaults on retail workers over recent years has led to many retailers making great strides
in tackling the issue, largely through investment in crime prevention measures, such as increased security staff, CCTV and
bodycams.
